28. Where are these people groups today? …and they hate Israel! They also live in the West Bank, and in Jordan. They inter- married and assimilated into the region. Today they call themselves Palestinians! They are attempting to form a Palestinian State. They also call themselves Muslims The “Tents” of Edom and the Ishmaelites described in Psalm 83 are also known today as Palestinian Refugees! …and they live in Gaza. The future invasion into Israel by Psalm 83’s confederacy, led by the “tents of Edom and Ishmael” takes place before the day of the LORD! They were betrayed by their Arab brothers, scattered throughout the region, and forced to live in tents!

35. Because of that hate, war between the Edom and Israel is the result

39. Edom is Destroyed by Israel, not the Nations Obadiah 15 NKJV "For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.

40. Obadiah 17 NKJV "But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, And there shall be holiness; The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. {18} The house of Jacob [Israel] shall be a fire, And the house of Joseph [Israel] a flame; But the house of Esau shall be stubble; They [Israel] shall kindle them [Edom] and devour them [Edom], And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken.

41. PSALM 83

42. Psalm 83:1 NKJV Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! {2} For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. {3} They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.

43. Psalm 83:4 …"Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more." {5} For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: {6} The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; {7} Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; {8} Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot.
